Working with students
Encouraging students to discuss their feedback from assessments and how they will act on it is an important part of their learning process. It can provide motivation, focus and support their assessment activity. So it is worthwhile thinking about what opportunities you provide to support such conversations. The University of Strathclyde’s Principle 6: Encourage interaction and dialogue around learning (peer and teacher-student) explores this area in more detail.
“Research is increasingly demonstrating the importance of tutor-student dialogue in both understanding assessment expectations and being able to make use of feedback.”
